Overview

Dental implants are rapidly gaining acceptance as the
replacement therapy of choice in orthodontic surgery. In order for implants to be successful, the
orthodontic surgeon needs a thorough understanding of the underlying bone
structure and its viability. CT scanning offers detailed information on orthodontic
anatomy that can aid in developing an effective therapy.

Intended Use

The DentaScan is a software package used to create a cross referenced set of
composite axial, Panorex, and Oblique planar images of the mandible and maxilla from computed
tomography x–ray scans of the jaw and mouth area. It is intended for use in pre-surgical
evaluation for dental implants, and for diagnosis of diseases of the mandible
and maxilla.

DentaScan is a software visualization tool which
provides Oblique
and Panorex real time reformation of CT dental images. It is used to assist
Radiologists with mandibular and maxillar 2D viewing.
